Hi captb,

That's actually a pretty well known fact, indeed. Not wanting to burst your bubble, but it IS a real vessel, not even based off, it's got a real life counterpart.

Many ships in the game are real vessels.

And that's not the only one from Fairmount either, the Sherpa..., she has a load of sisters that are all pretty much the same, like the Summit, the Alpine, the Glacier, and Expedition.

Here's their own site: http://www.fairmount.nl/page.php?idObject=369

Thanks for sharing though!!!

Kind Regards,
Fred

There is also a ship called Pride of Rotterdam... I don't think it is a real ship though, but based on one called the 'Pride of Hull'

EDIT: One recommendation for anyone who has not seen that youtube film... Try it with the sound turned off! (sorry CaptB)

There are also some young members who claim that Titanic was a real ship. They usually have â€œTitanicâ€ in their names; so they have a vested interest in perpetuating that myth.

Titan..i...c...?

I HOPE it's real... It is my cure for insomnia, Marty.

Pride of Rotterdam isn't based off of the Pride of Hull. PoR and PoH are both real life ships, twins you could say.

I must say that when I woke up this morning & after playing with a some kind of a 4-funneled ship in Ship Simulator, I went to Google & just out of boredom typed "Titanic" (I think that's the right word)... I can't express the thing how I was surprised when I found out that there was a ship with the same name & which was totally based off that ship from SS I played this morning!
